Fair, I probably should’ve mirror flipped the pic.

I remember reading a great thing on the economics of gyms… Iirc, they basically depend on those NY resolution folks to pay and not show up.

I went to the pool in the first week and wanted to cry, felt like we were damn near nose to toes.

Also, great username.

we shouldn’t expect new users to be looking for a new hobby.

Infinitely this!

Yes, it’s super cool to have control over your own damned machine but for some, the computer is just the thing the lets them work, porn and game.

Unless it’s Arch. At which point we need Ramsay bowing down or somesuch.

Ahahaha!

Yeah, Mint as well. From my reading it’s because I have an additional layer, my tv goes to the stereo receiver and from there links into the computer. Unfortunately, the receiver tells the computer when it’s shut off but not when it’s turned on or somesuch. So, right now I’ve “solved” the issue by disabling the auto shut off. But it means the computer always thinks three monitors are on and engaged. Which causes issues as my primary is the desktop monitor etc. Nothing outrageous but one of those tweaks I’d like to make. And unlike Windows, it’s a tweak I know I can make.

That’d be cool!

That’s so wild, I had no idea of that history, thanks for sharing!

Stuff like this is why I still love social media.

I think you nailed it exactly. Also, someone else pointed out there was a time when Linux could legit break your monitor and even though that hasn’t been the case for years it’s still a bit of a sore spot.

I’m sorry I’m a dumb newb, who just went with Mint, I’m unsure what X is.

In some ways better, some ways worse. I lile that not everything resizes incorrectly, several moments after changing the monitors. On the downside, linux assumes third monitor is always on etc which can get annoying.

End result is, currently (and this is probably solveable, I just need to devote the time to being indoors and on a computer) sitting down to watch things on tv is most easily managed by setting up with the regular monitor on etc. But working on the regular monitors or switching a monitor between one computer to another, is much better on linux.

I don’t think a lived experience can be amusingly wrong but to each their own?

My issue comes because my set up is highly unusual, the third display is an infrequently used tv that’s connected through a receiver. With a little bit of fighting I have a workable albeit inconvenient system. A fix is possible but as stated in the meme, it’ll take some effort etc.

It’s because one of my three is a sporadically used tv that’s hooked up through my receiver system. Windows had trouble with it too and in more irritating ways. I just have to sit down and do some work to create a way to easily toggle between 1, 2 and 3 screen layouts/settings etc.

Oooh, hadn’t seen that, I’ll be giving it a watch today! Thanks!

Ha, sounds like an eye opening moment for the junior dev!

Yup!

Thank heavens! Let’s get the ol’ mob to storm the castle/this guy’s comment!

Context and nuance? In a fediverse comment section? Is that even allowed?

Ahaha, right? We buy these beater bikes so we won’t be sad when they get borrowed permamently but then they do so well for us that we gotta protect 'em.

I’ve wondered about the tracker thing but I figure one of the local open air chop shops would take that out pretty quick. (Best hope is the bike is so shitty they wouldn’t think anyone would bother with one…)
